Clamor – Tackling the Global Noise Crisis with Author Chris Berdik
Episode 45
Friday, 30 May, 2025

Noise is everywhere—disrupting our sleep, increasing our stress, and wrecking our focus—yet it's often dismissed as a minor nuisance. But what if it’s a major environmental issue hiding in plain sound? This episode of Big Blend Radio's Nature Connection Show features author and science writer Chris Berdik, who dives into the surprising science and urgent implications behind his new book, "Clamor: How Noise Took Over the World―and How We Can Take It Back." Berdik discusses the widespread impact of noise pollution on human health, wildlife, and our planet's natural soundscapes. The conversation covers: - Why everyday noise deserves serious measurement and attention - How chronic noise affects mental and physical health - The role of urban planning and community action in reducing noise - Personal insights and compelling stories uncovered through Berdik’s research "Clamor" is more than just a wake-up call—it’s a rallying cry to recognize noise as an environmental threat on par with air and water pollution. 📘 Learn more about Chris Berdik and his work at: https://www.chrisberdik.com/ 🎧 This episode is also featured on Big Blend Radio's Quality of Life Show. 🌐 Explore our full network of shows here: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/bigblendradionetwork
